Again thanks guys and for following my request to keep the voting simple, it certainly helps me when toting up the results.

OK, here's how it went:

TedMamere (Grumman Goose) 34
betheyn (A6M5c) 1
csch (Spitfire Vb Trop) 1
wingman (Hs129) 5
modelci2000 (Bf109G-6) 19
matrixone (FW190D-11 ) 3
Holdfast (F4U-1) 27
F-4E (747) 33
Blade26 (Mirage 2000) 1
VonCuda (Spitfire MkIXc) 2
CPTKelley(Bf109F-4) 6
almonkey (DH.2) 33
Emeritus (Spitfire Mk XVI) 6
lampie (Spitfire MkI) 6
mother (Bo105) 4
JPTRR(Ki 61) 1
bf443 (OS2U Kingfisher) 4


The most number of 1st choice votes went to F-4E with 10 (30 points).
The most number of 2nd choice votes went to Tedmamere with 9 (18 points). The most number of 3rd choice votes went to Holdfast and with 6 (6 points).

31 members cast their votes, 5 more than last month, the turnout was down alittle from 19 the biggest yet to17, which is pretty good. No ladies again this time but we live in hope for the coming months, well done to everyone who entered, nice to see some new faces again.

The voting was close all the way to the end and was essentially between 3, you can see how close the the top 3 are with only one point in it.
Rest assured there were no bad models here so please don't be put off with entering again and remember you can enter a model up to 3 times.

The results, well done all:

1st TedMamere Grumman Goose


2nd= F-4E (747)


2nd= almonkey (DH.2)


It was nice to see a so many Spitfires.


Normally the winner is asked to provide extra pics and we do a photo feature, but I think we already have a feature on this Goose so I would like to see some more pics of the 2 runners up please, for photo features.

What's amazing to me is the talent being exhibited in the entries. There truly are no losers in this thing, and trying to pick the top three gets more difficult each month. To all who enter, be advised...I have a weak heart. Can you tone down the WOW factor just a notch?? :-) :-)

Congratuations to all who entered.

Wow what a close finish!
Congratulations to the winners and indeed to everyone that entered.
What a diverse top 3 as well.Where else can you have a worldwide "competition" like this?, and a nice way to show off your finished models.
Well done to the top 3 and thanks to everyone that voted for my effort.It was great to share it with you.
Hmmm,,do I enter a one of my 2 other finished projects in Feb mom or do I wait and see if I finish the one Ive got ongoing at the moment that I havent told anyone about?
Happy modelling

Though I have no interest in civil aviation, I am glad to see a non-military win.
